Making the right inference
The distance between two spherical dippers affects the distance between two constructive / destructive interference
Building an appropriate hypothesis
The distance between two constructive / destructive interference increases when the distance between two spherical dippers.
Stating the aim of the experiment
To investigate the relationship between the distance between two spherical dippers and the distance between two constructive / destructive interference
Stating the correct variables
Manipulated variable : The distance between two spherical dippers Responding variable : The distance between two constructive / destructive interference
Fixed variable : Depth of the water // speed of the motor // the perpendicular distance between the two spherical dippers and the place where the interference pattern is observed.
List of appropriate apparatus and material
Ripple tank with its accessories, power supply, white paper and ruler.

State a functional arrangement of the apparatus
Draws a labeled and functional diagram of the set up of the apparatus


State how the manipulated variable is controlled
·         Two spherical dippers are attached to the water
·      The distance between spherical dippers on the screen are adjusted to a = 5.0 cm
State how the responding variable is measured
The distance between two constructive / destructive interference on the screenx is measured with the ruler and recorded.
State how the procedure is repeated to obtain at least 5 sets of results
Repeat the previous step by increasing the distance between two spherical dippers, a = 6.0 cm, 7.0 cm, 8.0 cm and 9.0 cm
